Here we go! Scottish football’s biggest fixture is upon us once more – and this one has even more added significance.
Celtic can throw a de facto title party with a win while Rangers could claw themselves back in the league flag race if they can emerge victorious. Ange Postecoglou's swashbuckling Hoops go into today's showdown with a sizeable nine-point lead at the top of the Premiership table, and they'll have the champagne on ice if it's 12 points by close of play this evening. Michael Beale goes into his third derby clash looking for his first win over Celtic, and he'll know exactly how important it is to leave a marker ahead of next season's clean slate.
As has been well documented, Rangers will have to pull off any victory without away fans in attendance and they'll have to contend with 60,000 rabid Hoops fans creating the cacophony of noise Celtic Park is iconic for. Reo Hatate is definitely out after picking up a hamstring injury, however both Aaron Mooy and Greg Taylor have overcome knocks and look ready to feature. While Beale confirmed Nicolas Raskin is fit and available despite some concerns over his fitness.
